IVY POV Arriving back on our territory I felt a huge weight being lifted off of my shoulders. I was finally home and it felt like I had been gone for so much longer than just two weeks. But I was finally home. Walking through the woods as my wolf with Asher right by my side, I decided to take it slow heading towards the packhouse and let it all sink in before I was bombarded with everyone waiting for me. Asher rubbed his nuzzle against my neck getting my attention. ' You know, we don't have to go right to the packhouse.' Asher says through the link. ' What do you mean?' I asked. ' We can send the warriors ahead and see how much of this forest we can destroy before getting back?' He asked. ' Typical man. Always thinking with your dick.' I say. ' Of course.' He admitted. ' We have the rest of our lives. I want to get back before Freya arrives. Otherwise she'll be terrified.' I say. ' Alright. But don't plan on getting much sleep tonight.' He chuckles. ' Hey. I was g
" Well, it turns out that white wolves have more powers that we thought. At least, this white wolf does." I say slowly. " What kind of healing powers?" Asher asked. And I looked at him and a claw mark that was slowly healing down the side of his face and neck. So I placed my hand over it and I closed my eyes and I concentrated on what I was doing. I heard gasps as a bright light came from my hand and I ran it along the wound and it disappeared straight away. " Oh my god." Spencer says shocked. And Asher picked up his metal cutlery to look at his face and see that the wound was gone. " You just healed that." Asher said in disbeleif. " I did." I say. " She took my cancer away." Freya spoke up and they all stared at me and someone dropped their cutlery. " Don't ask me how I did that. I just did. I concentrated on what I needed to. I actually saw the cancer attacking her bones and I healed her the first time I tried. Jackson didn't know that. He thought that I was examining t
When I woke up the following morning I looked at the clock and realized it was 9am. I never expected to sleep in that late. I guess I was more exhausted than I thought. Asher was still lying next to me and I rolled over and he was awake just watching me sleep. " You know. That could be considered creepy." I joked. " I know. But you look so peaceful." He says. " I was. It was a good sleep." I say. " I could tell. You were out like a light." He says. " Oh crap. I have to check on Freya." I say about to get up. But Asher pulled me back down to the bed. " I just did. She's awake and dressed and Spencer took her downstairs to get some breakfast. She's taken care of." Asher says. " I don't want her to think that I'm ignoring her." I say. " She doesn't think that. I explained to her that you were still asleep. That you were exhausted. She's 12. She's not stupid. She knows what happened to you and that you were kidnapped." He says. " Okay then. Are you sure that she's alri
" Ivy. I know that we haven't known each other for that long, but what does that really matter. When you were gone the only thing I could think about was getting you back. Waking up next to you every day for the rest of my life. I couldn't sleep, especially not in our bed. I was sleeping on the couch in our room because you weren't there with me. I realized that this is all I want for the rest of my life. To have you and nothing but you by my side for the rest of my life. So, will you do me the honour of marrying me?" He asked. " Yes." I say. And he let out the breath that he was holding and he slipped the ring on my finger and he pulled me up from the chair and kissed me. He twirled me around while kissing me and my feet were off the ground. I could feel his relief and happiness through the bond and I knew that he could tell that I was feeling the exact same way. " That explains why you were so nervous." I laughed. And he shook his head. When we got back to the packhouse that n
" She's only 12 years old. You are a f**king creep." I say. " Like I said, I won't do anything. Not until she's of age." He says. " That's 6 years. Can you really be around her for 6 years knowing that she's your mate and not do anything. The pull will be too strong if you are around her every day. We both know that. You'll last a year or two at the most. And you are not having sex with my sister when she is 13 or 14." I demanded. " I know. I've been thinking about this a lot too. Ever since I met her. I know what I have to do." He says. " And what's that?" I asked. " I'm leaving. I've already decided. It is going to kill me being away but I know that it's the best decision. Everyone will think so." He says. " Well, I sure as hell do." I yelled. " What's going on in here?" Asher asked coming inside the kitchen. " Do you want to tell him or me?" I asked. " Tell me what?" Asher asked. " Freya is my mate. I know it, she obviously doesn't." Beau says taking a step back
IVY POV ONE YEAR LATER Well, surprisingly I have settled into my role as Luna pretty well now. I didn't think I could ever really accept this position but here I was. I was doing it. All of our little villages had been completed and a lot of people had jobs off of the territory but that was fine. That was always allowed because there weren't enough jobs in our pack to accomodate everyone. And everyone seemed really happy. Freya was doing great in school and she was even seeing a boy from her grade that we liked really much. He was a good kid and didn't get into trouble. It was funny seeing Asher with her though. Asher had definitely taken on the father figure in her life and he gave that poor boy the grilling of a lifetime when he came to the house for the first time. I felt so sorry for him. I eventually had to stop it and let the boy know that the Alpha of his pack was just kidding. I didn't want Asher to scare him off. Freya looked happy with him and that's the way I wanted it
I was getting really paranoid after that conversation with Asher. I didn't know what to do. And I was a little afraid to go anywhere alone. So he made sure that someone had eyes on me at all times. And he obviously chose people that he trusted without a question of doubt. But he didn't make it obvious. He made sure that they had eyes on me but they were actually escorting me anywhere. They were following me from a distance so that it wasn't so obvious. I had to continue my Luna duties and I had a meeting with a group of ladies to hear what issues that they had around the pack which took us almost an entire state. Some of them travelled hours to be here so we had food and drinks set up in the conference room and we all sat around the table talking about all the issues that they had in their little communities. They all told me of things that were happening and I was writing everything down that I thought needed attention, especially around security. Now more than ever, I was worrie
The next morning after we got up and dressed we headed downstairs to the dining room and Freya was just leaving for school and Spencer and Cole were nowhere to be seen either. So Asher and I sat in the informal dining room at a table next to the window and I was looking out at the sun shining down and the gardens outside. " Are you alright?" Asher asked. " Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked. " I don't know. You just look a little pissed off." He says. " Why the hell shouldn't I be pissed off?" I asked just as Lucy walked over with a tray and put down our plates of food and two coffees. " Enjoy guys." She says walking away. And I just sat there and stared at the coffee and then looked at Asher. " We have to pretend like we don't know anything." Asher whispered. " I'm not drinking that. Who the hell knows what she's been putting in it." I say. " It's just birth control." He says. " What kind? It could be poison for all I know. It could be rotting my insides for all we kn
